So the Calgary Flames continued their hot streak in the freezing cold, beating the Montreal Canadiens 4-0 in the 2011 Heritage Classic, held at McMahon Stadium in Calgary. Throughout the game, the announcers could only talk about the dropping temperature, how bad the ice was and what the players had to do to adjust to the outdoor conditions.

When the NHL started its “Winter Classic” tradition a few years ago, it received a lot of praise for coming up with a style of game that embraced its roots and actually generated some interest in hockey from those who normally wouldn’t dare ever watch the ice-bound sport. This year, they’re hoping to build on its success by pitting the game’s two biggest players – Sidney Crosby and Alex Ovechkin – against each other. Also, they’ve tapped HBO to create a reality series documenting the road leading up to January’s outdoor game.

How many people want to see Ty Conklin traded to Boston or Philadelphia before Jan. 1? Conklin, a 33-year-old native of Phoenix, Arizona, is a goaltender for the St. Louis Blues. He also has the distinction of being the only player to have played in all three outdoor NHL games. In all three, he was also not his respective team’s primary goaltender within a month of each game. If he doesn’t find a way to get himself into a Bruin or Flyer jersey by the New Year, his streak will sadly end.
